Payroll Migration Specialist

At Miter, we’re on a mission to help construction contractors build with confidence. If we’re successful, we’ll make it easier and faster to build critical physical infrastructure - roads, bridges, utilities, data centers, housing, etc.

For decades, construction and field services contractors have had to run their businesses on outdated software: clunky, on-premise systems created in the 1980s and 1990s.

That’s where Miter comes in. We’re using AI and embedded payments to rebuild the core HR, finance, and operations systems that underpin our physical economy. Using Miter, contractors like Marathon Electrical, W.J. O’Neil, and Truebeck Construction are building stronger teams, controlling job costs, and accelerating jobsite execution.

This idea is resonating. Since we launched in 2022, we’ve grown to thousands of customers and tens of millions in ARR, making us one of the fastest growing vertical software companies ever. To double-down on our momentum, we’ve raised $50M+ from top investors (Bessemer, Coatue, and Battery) who share our belief that we’re just getting started.

We believe the magic of Miter comes from working side by side. We also believe in work flexibility. For roles that are listed as hybrid, our approach is—three to four days a week in the office—giving us the chance to connect, brainstorm, and build stronger relationships. If you live within a reasonable commute to either our New York City or San Francisco offices, we ask that you work in our hybrid approach.

Otherwise, for roles listed as remote or in other cities where we don't have an office location, there is no requirement to work in our hybrid approach. We do travel a few times a year for onboarding, company wide, and team specific offsites!

As a Payroll Migration Specialist on Miter’s Launch team, you’ll play a critical role in helping customers get payroll right from day one. Our team is responsible for guiding customers through the onboarding process, and this role focuses specifically on transferring, transforming, and validating year-to-date (YTD) payroll and tax data, a key step to ensuring customers go live successfully.

We work closely with customers, partners, and internal Implementation Managers to navigate complex data challenges. Our work is fast-paced and highly collaborative. Accuracy matters here; mistakes in this process can have downstream tax and compliance impacts.

This is a great role for someone who loves digging into data, thrives on problem-solving, and enjoys working in an environment where learning and adaptability are critical to success.
